To many it connotes a deeper meaning that conveys psychological tenets of status, esteem, and relevance in the society. In discussing the underlying components to this is the notion of a psychological contract whose suggestion was that between the employer and employee there exists an implicit contractual relationship derived from a series of assumptions on the part of the employee and employer about the nature of their relationship. An organization is by creation an avenue that holds a group of individuals with different characteristics, and as such achieving a working environment devoid of grudges and grievances is quite difficult. Industrial harmony is not the absence of disagreement, but it is when there is an understanding between employers and employees that permits the system to achieve its set goals. It is therefore important to ascertain that in human settings like working organizations, grievances that lead to industrial strife is normal. The paper therefore sets out to give an understanding of the employment relationship and how it could be effectively and conscientiously harmonized for the sustainable all-round development of the employee and the overall development of the organization for which he or she works.</p>2018-10-15T11:19:15+00:00Copyright (c) 2018 Journal of Advanced Research in Psychology & Psychotherapyhttps://medical.adrpublications.in/index.php/Journal-Psychology-Psychotherapy/article/view/1821Role of Prejudice in the Life of a Person2019-01-08T04:43:55+00:00P K Pandiapkpandia2015@gmail.comPrakriti Pandiapkpandia2015@gmail.com<p>According to Cambridge Dictionary, prejudice means an unfair and unreasonable opinion or feeling, especially when formed without enough thought or knowledge. Prejudice is an unjustified or incorrect attitude towards an individual. It is normally a negative attitude towards an individual. Normally it is purely based on the individual’s membership of a social group. When a person holds prejudiced views towards a certain race or gender etc. (e.g. sexist), it is an instance of prejudice. Discrimination is related to the behavior or actions. It is also usually negative, towards an individual or group of people, particularly on the basis of sex/race/social class, etc. Prejudice can influence a person very deeply as to how to behave and interact with others, particularly with those who differ from them. Prejudice is, as such, a baseless and normally a negative attitude toward members of a group. The salient traits of prejudice are: negative feelings, stereotyped beliefs, and a tendency to discriminate against members of the group. Although specific definitions of prejudice expressed by social scientists often differ yet most of them agree that it involves prejudgments that are usually negative about members of a group. When people have prejudicial attitudes toward others, they are inclined to view everyone who fits into a certain group as being ‘all the same’. They brand every individual who holds particular characteristics or beliefs with a very broad category. They do not appreciate a person as a unique individual. Most people have had the experience of prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination at some time in his or her life. There is little doubt that social discrimination, prejudice, and hostility still create serious problems and challenges, even in today’s society which considers itself to be very advanced.</p>2018-10-15T11:19:16+00:00Copyright (c) 2018 Journal of Advanced Research in Psychology & Psychotherapyhttps://medical.adrpublications.in/index.php/Journal-Psychology-Psychotherapy/article/view/2095Music Therapy should be Integrated in Healthcare System: A Review2019-01-08T04:43:55+00:00Cynthal J Kcynthaljk@gmail.comMusic Therapy serves the people with mental health and functional wellness issues in a variety of settings including public and private psychiatric hospitals and schools, metal health centers, private practice, community-based programs, correctional and forensic facilities, and substance abuse treatment programs. Music therapist use defined music interventions founded in sound theory and supported by an ongoing research. Music therapist use music to enhance social or interpersonal, affective, cognitive, and behavioral functioning. Research indicates that music therapy is effective at reducing muscle tension and anxiety, and at promoting relaxation, verbalization, interpersonal relationships, and group cohesiveness. This can set the stage for open communication and provide a starting place for non-threatening support and processing symptoms associated with or exacerbated by trauma and disaster, such as the Tsunami and 9/ 11 attack. A therapist can talk with the client, but a qualified music therapist can use music to actively link a client to their psycho-emotional state quickly. In certain settings, the active use of music therapy interventions has resulted in shorter length of stay (treatment period) and more efficient response to the client’s overall recovery/ intervention plan.2019-01-08T04:36:27+00:00Copyright (c) 2019 Journal of Advanced Research in Psychology & Psychotherapy (E-ISSN: 2581-5822)
